chinense A very "fishy" Trinidad Scorpion...

I've been sweeping the local swap-meet for various pepper applicable goods and I found something interesting. - thought I'd buy one of those gem shaped fish tanks -it was a good 5 bucks- and gut out the nightlight bulb and have it refit with a set of simple LEDs. Add some organic clay plus one of those 99 cent aqua globe mini's and you'd have a perfect lair for a single Trinidad scorpion to call home.
It has light it has a small heater and a closed off area to grow as well as a lil air stone-even a constant drip o water ...perfect-
If this works I might make more on the same aquarium concept. And you know what it even makes a handsome night light nonetheless!

Pretty cool little thing you set up!

Ha ha, fishy. I see what you did there.

 

[flyingappleseedco]

thanks! If this works I want to try a full fish tank of superhots... As for this one I'm thinking take the top off and give it sun during the day and run the heater and LEDs at night- I'm gonna try feeding it once a week and see if the water dropper does good by by the pepper-

 

[flyingappleseedco]

yes indeed!

Cool night light indeed.

Very nice idea ,i guess I'll just steal it! LOL

looks great mate, looks like it has its own little stage, and its on show for everyone

looks awesome!! make sure you let us know how it goes!! If it goes well I might give it a try.. MrMel is in the glass industry and we can make our own cut to size 'fishtanks'

Ha, I thought you were going to have a variegated TS...

Have the fish adapted yet or are they still hardening off?

Nice setup.

 

[millworkman]

Just make sure you dont overwater with no drain holes down there.

 

[flyingappleseedco]

I added drain holes and a drip pan- drills are so nice000

plant has already hardened off and is now taking in a total of 18 hours of light from both sun and LED

Meh- I'd say just use old fish setups. its a whole lot cheaper and to tell the truth some "very" lovely setups are already laying around for dirt cheap in the flea market. I say this huge wooden one and if it goes well I'm buying it. its like $60 but its one of those show tanks that has become to leaky to house fish.

yupyup and the T scorp is doing great- it's watching dances with wolves with the puppies. -I leave it on so they all thing there's someone at home when I leave.
